After 4 1/2 years, I ceased daily posting to this website. However, I am sending to some people via email my research into the news. If you wish to be included, just let me know by making a comment below. I will not be posting every day as I did before.

Administration
officials, speaking on condition they not be named, told reporters they
expect to see an increase in the number of calls they get from Arizona police — but that won’t change President Obama’s decision to limit whom the government actually tries to detain and deport.

“We
will not be issuing detainers on individuals unless they clearly meet
our defined priorities,” one official said in a telephone briefing. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/jun/25/homeland-security-suspends-immigration-agreements-/
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Three other provisions of the Arizona law were thrown out by the
court, thereby leaving illegals the "right" to solicit day jobs on
public streets, the "right" to not carry the same identification they
are required to carry in their home countries and the "right" to not be
deported after officers suspect them of crimes here.
But after the Obama administration and its media allies crowed that
the court ruling was a win, their fury over their loss on the one
provision became obvious.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced that the
administration would cut off ties to Arizona's police and end provisions
of seven 287(g) task force agreements that gave some Arizona police
agencies powers to enforce immigration laws. http://news.investors.com/article/616095/201206251907/obama-administration-exacts-revenge-on-arizona-for-winning-court-ruling.htm?src=IBDDAE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------AZ Sheriff Joe Arpaio on FOX News today: "I'm not stopping anything. I'm
going to continue to enforce those state laws regardless of what the
federal government is trying to put pressure on me to satisfy all these
activists, which by the way are in front of my building right now."

"Three and half years they've been in front of my building. So, I'm not
going to bend to the federal government, especially when we still have
state laws to enforce." http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/06/25/sheriff_joe_arpaio_im_not_stopping_anything.html
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A single internal Department of Justice email could be the
smoking-gun document in the Operation Fast and Furious scandal — if it
turns out to contain what congressional investigators have said it does.
The document would establish that wiretap application documents show
senior DOJ officials knew about and approved the gunwalking tactic in
Fast and Furious. This is the opposite of what Attorney General Eric
Holder and House oversight committee ranking Democratic member Rep.
Elijah Cummings have claimed.
It appears that email would also prove senior DOJ officials, likely
including Holder himself, knew in March 2011 that a Feb. 4, 2011 letter
from the DOJ to Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley falsely denied guns
were permitted to “walk” into Mexico. The DOJ allowed that false letter
to stand for nine more months, only withdrawing it in December 2011.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Russian strategic nuclear bombers threatened U.S. airspace near
Alaska earlier this month and F-15 jets responded by intercepting the
aircraft taking part in large-scale arctic war games, according to
defense officials.
The Russian war games began the same day President Obama and Russian
President Vladimir Putin held a frosty summit meeting in Mexico June 18.
U.S. officials said the arctic exercises over the Russian Far East
and Pacific appeared to be a further sign of Russia’s hardening posture
toward the United States.
The Obama administration made no protest of the bomber intrusions,
according to the officials, in line with its conciliatory “reset” policy
of seeking warmer ties with Moscow. http://freebeacon.com/the-bear-at-the-door/

Green ‘drivel’ exposed

The godfather of global warming lowers the boom on climate change hysteria

Two months ago, James Lovelock, the godfather of global warming, gave
a startling interview to msnbc.com in which he acknowledged he had been
unduly “alarmist” about climate change.
The implications were extraordinary.
Lovelock is a world-renowned scientist and environmentalist whose
Gaia theory — that the Earth operates as a single, living organism — has
had a profound impact on the development of global warming theory.
Unlike many “environmentalists,” who have degrees in political
science, Lovelock, until his recent retirement at age 92, was a
much-honoured working scientist and academic.
His inventions have been used by NASA, among many other scientific organizations.
(1) A long-time supporter of nuclear power as a way to lower greenhouse
gas emissions, which has made him unpopular with environmentalists,
Lovelock has now come out in favour of natural gas fracking (which
environmentalists also oppose), as a low-polluting alternative to coal.
(2) Lovelock blasted greens for treating global warming like a religion.
(3) Lovelock mocks the idea modern economies can be powered by wind turbines.
(4) Finally, about claims “the science is settled” on global warming:
“One thing that being a scientist has taught me is that you can never be
certain about anything. You never know the truth. http://www.torontosun.com/2012/06/22/green-drivel
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When speaking to audiences on the subject of the
environment, I’m often confronted with people who express concerns about
“urban sprawl,” and “over-development.” And polls suggest such concerns
are widespread: In a March 2011, Gallup poll,
57% of people worried a great deal/fair amount about “urban sprawl and
loss of open space;” and 42% of people said they worried “not much/not
at all” about the same issue.
With so many people worried, the pie chart, below, offers some
interesting context. Note that only about 3 percent of the US is
urbanized. 56 percent is forest and pasture. The second chart below,
shows the trends in land use over time.

While greenies are often convinced that big government is always the
answer to ensuring environmental quality, the inefficiencies and
poorly-conceived policies of government stewardship are too frequently
the environment’s detractors.
Here’s just one epic-fail example: The feds often prohibit logging,
grazing, and other thinning activities on its forest lands, ostensibly
to protect the endangered spotted owl. The result is unhealthy forests
with much higher tree and undergrowth densities than there should be,
and in the already arid western states, this both puts a stress on the
water supply and creates veritable tinderboxes just waiting to explode
into catastrophic wildfires. (Meanwhile, the federal government is also
busily engaged in subsidizing windmills, which kill birds — like spotted
owls. …Anyone? Anyone?) http://hotair.com/archives/2012/06/23/quit-worrying-about-urban-sprawl-and-start-worrying-about-federal-stewardship/
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But the “epic failure” of Rio, as Friends of the Earth called it, is an apt
cue to recall how this leaves Britain as the only country in the world
committed by law to cut its emissions of carbon dioxide by 80 per cent in
less than 40 years. The Climate Change Act, on the Government’s own figures,
faces us with a bill of up to £18 billion every year until 2050, making it
by far the most costly law ever passed by Parliament.

More important still, however, this raises the question: how do all those MPs
who voted almost unanimously for this target (only three voted against it)
think we can meet this obligation without closing down virtually our entire
economy? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/9350678/MPs-have-no-idea-how-to-meet-the-carbon-target-they-voted-for.html
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Shortly after Roman made his gun purchases, the feds swooped in to
arrest all four members of the family. HSI and local law enforcement
raided the gun store and the Reese home. They came in helicopters,
armored vehicles and too many heavily protected and armed law
enforcement officers to count. Not only were the four members of the
Reese family arrested, but the feds confiscated every gun, all
ammunition from both their store and their home, then they confiscated
the home, cars, bank accounts, coin collections and virtually everything
the family owned.
Each member of the family was eventually taken to a different jail or
prison facility to be held without bail until their trials. The
prosecution argued that they were flight risks or might even stage a
Ruby Ridge type stand off because their home had a well and solar panels
and they had found guns on the premises. Can you imagine that? They
actually found guns and ammunition in the house and place of business of
federally licensed gun dealers. It was also noted by the prosecution
that Rick and Terry Reese were part of the local Tea Party, which must
have made them look violent in the eyes of the prosecutor.
Six months after being arrested, Terri Reese was allowed to post
bail, but the courts continued to withhold bail for the father and two
sons.
Recently, the first preliminary hearing was held for the four members of the Reese family. According to a WND report,
the prosecution revealed a number of revelations during the preliminary
hearing. For one thing, Roman spoke little broken English and that
most of the hinting of guns going to Mexico was said in Spanish, which
none of the Reese family knew or understood. However, the transcripts
that the court had to read had all been translated into English, so that
it appeared that the conversation had taken place in English.

Despite there being no real effort by Congress to address global warming
and America’s longstanding reputation as an energy hog, U.S. carbon
dioxide emissions are falling. ...
The secret isn’t laws, green activism or regulations (although these do
have roles to play). Innovation is the force that is enabling the cut in
US carbon emissions. ...
Right now, fracking is doing more to control carbon emissions than all the efforts of all the greens in the world.

President Barack Obama was the only choice on the
ballot for the 85,000 Sacramento County Democrats and 5,000
decline-to-state voters who took Democratic ballots during last
Tuesday’s primary. But about 8,000 of those voters left their
presidential ballots blank, and another 5,300 scribbled in a write-in
candidate.The Democrats who shunned Obama were largely concentrated in
conservative parts of the county, particularly Orangevale, Citrus
Heights and the rural outskirts.

About Me

I began this blog when my local liberal newspaper (in a Republican district) not only refused to print any of the negatives about Barack Obama, but then refused to run my letter to the editor entitled Ten Reasons Not To Vote For Obama! I realized it's time to do something more than fume about it! I hope you learn some things your paper is not teaching you....
